News archive - EC Launches New Information Portal on Health Research

The European commission has launched a new information portal for the FP7 Health research theme.

Specific sub-sites of the Health Portal are devoted to Health Biotechnology, Genomics & Systems Biology, Medical Research, Infectious Diseases, Public Health, and Innovative Medicines Initiative. Dedicated focus pages explore the overarching issues applicable across the theme.

Among others, the website contains information on upcoming events, policy issues, ongoing EC-funded research projects and an online library. Information on open calls will also be made available.

The EU investment in Health research is used to support research activities and initiatives during FP7, with a particular focus on health biotechnology, translational research and the optimisation of health care delivery to citizens, as well as providing support to address EU policy needs.
